1 Wetroom Panel (Concealed Fix) Instruction Manual DXFCPCF Important Information Toughened glass is completely safe for use in our shower enclosures and bath screens; providing our products are installed according to our guidelines. It is important to note that the glass must not be mounted or pinched in such a way that would cause a stress point to develop in the glass. In addition, it must not be subject to any sharp impact or severe temperature fluctuation which may also cause a stress point to develop in the glass. Toughened glass is physically and thermally significantly stronger than standard glass. During the toughening process the stresses contained within any glass are balanced so if in the unlikely event situation any of the above occurs and the glass breaks, the glass will shatter safely into small thumbnail sized blunt fragments.

2 Step 1 - Wall Profile Position IMPORTANT: Before starting any of the following work you must make certain there are no electrical wires or water pipes or other obstructions in the vicinity. If in doubt consult a professional. NOTE: The procedures below are to be carried out prior to tiling of the Walls. Desired Distance Tile + Adhesive 1. Place the Wall Profile equally on the tray top or at a desired distance from the wall (if fitting in a wetroom).if fitting onto a tray ensure the wall profile is fitted 5mm in from the inside edge of the tray. 2. Using a large Spirit Level ensure that the Wall Profile is completely vertical. 3. Mark the position of the Wall Profile at each side and at the top where it meets the wall with a pencil. 4. The depth of the channel will depend upon the thickness of the tiles and adhesive that is to be fitted (please take the time to calculate this as it could save you from creating a deeper channel than you need). IMPORTANT: The two small lips of the wall profile sit over the top of the tiles. 5. Remove the Wall Profile and carefully cut away between the pencil lines to create a channel in the wall. Remove any debris caused by creating the channel. 6. Replace the Wall Profile into the newly created channel and mark through the holes onto the wall. 7. Remove the Wall Profile and drill using a 7mm masonry drill (not supplied) and fit the wall plugs (supplied). IMPORTANT: DO NOT screw or silicon the Wall Profile at this time.

3 Step 2 - Fitting the Wall Profile IMPORTANT: Before starting any of the following work the Walls must be tiled, ensure that the tiles don t stop the Wall Profile from going into the Channel but will fit under the small lips. 1 Inside Tile Silicon 2 Lip Wall Channel Lip 1. After the Walls have been tiled run a bead of silicon vertically down the inside of the tiles which are situated on the inside of the showering area. 2. Place the Wall Profile into the channel and over the tiles, secure using the 38mm csk screws (supplied). Ensure that the Small Lips cover and touch the tiles NOTE: DO NOT overtighten the screws.

4 Step 3 - Fitting the Panel Note: We recommend 2 people carry out the procedures below. 1 Silicon here Inside Tile Wall Profile 2 Wall Channel Silicon all around the base 1. Place a bead of silicon the full length to the Wall Profile on the inside. NOTE: Take care not to apply too much silicon. 2. Place a bead of silicon at the base of the Wall Profile on the inside where it meets the Tray / Wetroom Floor all the way around. 3. Carefully lift the Panel glass and place it fully into the Wall Profile ensuring it sits on top of the Tray / Wetroom floor. Ensure the glass remains parallel to the outside of the tray. 4. Carefully clean off any excess silicon that may have crept out of the profiles. IMPORTANT: Failure to follow procedure 1 and 2 may cause serious water damage and is not covered under the terms of the guarantee.

5 Step 4 - Sealing Seal the outside of the Enclosure horizontally from the wall to the end of the glass on the outside only. IMPORTANT: Do not seal on the inside as this may cause serious water damage and is not covered under the terms of the guarantee. 2. Place a bead of silicon at the top of the Wall Profile and glass to the wall to prevent water getting down and inside the Wall Profile. 3. Fit the Branding Clip to the top of the Panel Glass with a small amount of silicon. IMPORTANT: Failure to follow stages 1 and 2 may result in serious water damage and is not covered under the terms of the guarantee. Please allow 24 hours for the sealant to fully cure before using the enclosure.

Clean your product using a mild detergent diluted in water and then polished off using a soft cloth. If you live in a hard water area, periodically clean your product using a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water. The solution should be left on the enclosure for approximately 5 minutes then rinsed off using warm water. This method of cleaning should remove lime scale residue. Simple Maintenance Our products are generally maintenance free, however it may be necessary to lubricate wheel assemblies and other moving parts from time to time. It is strongly recommended that a quality silicone spray is used. A list of Don t s: 1. Don t use acidic based products which are unsuitable for cleaning enamel surfaces. 2. Don t use abrasive cleaners or cleaners using bleach or solvents, these products will adversely affect the finish of the aluminium profiles. 3. Don t use scouring pads, powder or any sharp instruments when cleaning the enclosure.
